THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 240
The next morning.Nobody in the Myers mansion looked okay. Cassey’s face was full of scratches made by the bats. Sofia’s bed was filled with bat poop, which made it smell so bad she puked multiple times. She could never return to her bedroom afterward. And she couldn’t get a proper sleep last night because the bats kept causing nuisance until dawn.As for Gregory and Victoria, they were the ones that were probably affected the most by this incident, not just physically but psychologically.Gregory had tried to beat those bats up with whatever object he could find; however, they ganged up on him and bit on his ears, puncturing it with many holes. The good thing that the doctor said was that in time these holes would fill up and Gregory’s ears would look normal. However, the pain Gregory felt in his swollen ears was still too much to bear. It felt like his whole head grew heavy. He felt terrible. He couldn’t sleep, much less lay down on the bed and move around because his ears got in th

As Charles applied ointment on her abdomen, Sofia grinned, eyes glinting. “How does it feel?”“Feel what?” Charles innocently asked.“The wounds, I mean,” Sofia said, trying to kiss him with her breath. “Do you think they’ll go away with the ointment? I heard that people used to lick other’s wounds before ointments were invented. And that saliva used to do the trick even for some deep scratches.”Charles maintained his poker face with great effort. Did she really just tell him to try and lick her wounds in her own twisted manner?Laughter burst from her lips, catching his gaze in a sweet smile. Normally, butterflies would fill any man’s chest if a woman even a tenth as beautiful as Sofia were to smile like that, but Charles felt sour juices breaking through his intestines.Sofia felt like she was in the middle of a wonderful flower garden right now. If her weight was to be calculated, she would probably only weigh a few flowers! Charles, however, felt the exact opposite way.“Would yo

“What are you doing here?” Both Narika and Charles asked each other at the same time.Why would Narika come to this mansion again after leaving the family?“Don’t tell me… you parents called you because of the bats?” Charles asked, hoping that’s not true.“Yeah. My mom called me and told me what's happening, but I didn’t believe her,” Narika said, “but then she sent me a video recording. I was shocked to see the bats, so I came here as quickly as I could.”“Wait… why does your mother have your mobile number?” Charles asked quickly because he remembered her telling him she wouldn’t even want to talk to her family ever again. “I mean, I’m not saying she can’t have your mobile number, but she might have called you here because she got an opportunity. What if she house-arrests you and pressures you to give the money back?”“I’m not gonna let that happen,” Narika said confidently, taking out a knife hidden in her sleeves. “I’ll keep her away with this knife in case she tries to pressure me

The moment Narika entered the room, Sofia gave her a side eye. “Fuck. This totally sucks,” she uttered.“Are you so upset from seeing my face?” Narika frankly asked.“No, Narika. I was talking about my scars,” Sofia explained. “The damn bats scratched me everywhere. And those scratches are burning even though Charles helped me by applying ointment all over my body.”Narika didn’t like what she heard. She briefly glanced at Charles to gauge his expression. “I’m not disturbing a private moment between you two, am I?”“Of course, not,” Charles quickly said before Sofia could say anything, so Sofia could only smile and agree with what he had said.“Charles, can you take one pizza box and give it to my parents?” Sofia said. “I’m afraid if I start eating, we’ll eat all the pizzas, so please give one to them beforehand.”“Alright,” Charles picked up a box and went out of the room.Narika came to the bed but didn’t sit down. Sofia put a pizza piece in her own mouth and loved the taste. In fro

Charles had downed 1200 ml of quality wine worth over 18,000 dollars, so Sofia expected him to fall in her lap any moment, even though he showed little to no signs of being inebriated with alcohol.She tried to pour more alcohol, but Charles was tired of drinking the wine with her, so he said, “let’s go down and spend time with your family members so we can comfort them.”“U-Uh, yes,” Sofia didn’t like it, but she didn’t have a good reason to say no, either.Sofia quickly locked her arm around Charles’ arm as she walked out of the room. Together, they came downstairs. Sofia was surprised to see Narika still there, seemingly reading a newspaper.“Since when did you have the habit of reading a newspaper? And that’s also at night?” Sofia posed a straightforward question.“You haven’t met her in over two weeks,” Victoria quickly commented, “and the first thing you do is criticize her, Sofia? You should be more caring for your little sister even if she’s made a mistake or two.”“Mom, why

The next morning.Sofia and Victoria had gone out shopping, whereas Gregory had not only made a forged divorce certificate for his daughter so she could have her wedding without any hiccups, but he also finished printing the wedding cards and even began to distribute the cards, though only to very few people that were close to the family.Nevertheless, Gregory went to the Bisconsleys and gave the card to Caroline Bisconsley herself and said, “My daughter caught his eyes, so I hope your granddaughter will find someone she likes.”“Hmph, there are many men out there who are much more better-suited to Laurel than a gambler who dates multiple women at a time,” Caroline snorted.“I’m glad you think that away. Please bring your whole family to the wedding,” Gregory said. “We’re only inviting limited guests, so it’s going to be a peaceful wedding.” Saying that he left.“Limited number of invites, huh…” Caroline harrumphed. “I guess they don’t want the press to be there since they might bring

Samuel Sehla laughed out loud after looking at the wedding card. “He wanted to bring the Myers family down all the time, and now he wants to marry that woman? What is this crazy guy planning?”“Maybe, he’s just blinded by her beauty,” Samuel’s father, Andrew, remarked. “She’s really well endowed, after all.”“Do you want me to attend the wedding?”“There’s nothing to lose from going there, so yes, take your wife and children with you and have some fun at the wedding.”At a chain of apartments owned by the Blake family.Lucas Blake gave the wedding card to his son. Seeing the card, Jim smiled.“You still haven’t given up on their younger daughter, have you?” Lucas asked.“I want to step in tomorrow with Narika, Dad,” Jim said. “I’m going to attend the wedding. Hopefully, she’ll be there, and I’ll ask her for one last time.”Lucas patted his son’s shoulder. “I wish you good luck, son.”At the Sterling villa.Selena Sterling, a world famous actress, had just received the wedding card fro

Charles spent a few hours with Bob and Charlie, eating with them and buying them things. He parted with them in the evening.As Charles was walking back home, he thought back about his life. Many years ago, when he was very young, he was alone. Even after these years, that didn’t seem to have changed as he didn’t have anyone that would walk beside him.Charles was aimlessly walking, and he noticed a few men trying to look from an old beggar. They managed to take more than a hundred dollars from the beggar, but they still wanted more, and they began to rip his clothes, trying to see if he was hiding the money elsewhere.The beggar was old and weak, so he couldn’t fight back against the two youngsters.Charles approached from behind and grabbed their necks. They couldn’t move their necks, not even a little.“Give his money back,” Charles uttered, putting a bit more strength into his grip, and the youngsters quickly dropped the money. Charles then let go of them, and they ran away pretty

APOLOGY:: I apologize for not finishing this novel sooner, even though I could have.

I will do my best to finish the remaining
EPILOGUE
The next morning.Victoria woke up and did not receive a bed coffee. She went to the kitchen,only to find a letter there on the fridge.Cassey had written a letter and disappeared. In the letter, she thanked Victoria for her care, and apologized for leaving this way because she knew Victoria wouldn’t let her go otherwise.“The bats must have really scared her,” Victoria couldn’t really blame Cassey, but she was still angry that Cassey left without even telling directly to her face. “If she comes back running after a few months, I won’t take her in.”On the other hand, Gregory, having lost his argument with Victoria the previous night, brought a black magician to chase the bats away. However, they didn’t know this black magician was a fake. But that would probably be not proven because the bats would no longer attack the mansion from here onward.Sofia told her mother to prepare her multiple masks, one of which looked like Cassey, and others that looked like different people, including
CHAPTER 253
Many minutes passed since Sofia and others got stuck in the smelly basement filled with rat poop and what not. Moreover, these rats were the size of cats. From having eaten all kinds of roots and seeds in the garden, they grew very bulky, and they did not fear these four humans. They were more arrogant than the Myers themselves, as if they were the real owners of this place!As everyone waited with bated breaths, about an hour or so later, the music stopped. The sound of bats leaving reached their ears.“Did they leave?” Sofia wondered. She told Cassey to check on it, but Cassey was still feeling her wounds. She refused to go out.They waited a few minutes before coming out. To their relief, the bats were gone, and so did the guitar, but they didn’t care about the guitar.“Our mansion must be cursed,” Victoria looked at Gregory. “Do something.”“What do you want me to do? Bring some black magicians?” he yelled in frustration.“I don’t know! Just make sure they won’t even come near our
CHAPTER 252
In the middle of the night, Sofia was rolling around and slapping her arms every now and then because bugs were biting her. There was no fan or AC in this cottage. All she had was a hand fan, and her arms had grown heavy from waving the fan. Now, she was completely drenched in sweat, and this made it all the more difficult for her to properly sleep.She got up from the couch and shook her dress before walking out of the cottage. She could see the mansion in the distance. The words her mother told her a day ago came to her mind.“After the wedding was stopped, we didn’t care about anything. But your sister went to the catering guys and told them to give the food to the homeless. They went and freely distributed the food throughout the city in our family’s name,” Victoria showed the details in the newspaper. “This is good for us because the public opinion will surely improve after this incident. We’re doing our best to make those videos Carlos showed at the wedding are fake. Even if som
CHAPTER 251
After shooting Carlos eight times, Sofia ran away from the scene.Not only were there multiple witnesses, there was also a camera recording of the scene, which was provided as evidence to the police before the Myers family could do anything about it. So, the police began to search for Sofia everywhere.While Sofia was on the run, Carlos Wallace a.k.a, Charles Wallace was officially declared dead. And all those who knew him mourned his death.His story of Charles Wallace had become so popular it was printed in multiple magazines, and a popular writer had announced that he would be writing a biography of Carlos, and he requested some funds for researching in depth about the life of Carlos Wallace. Within just a few days, the author received thousands of dollars as funds from the interested public.Victoria and Gregory, on the other hand, publicly stated that they have nothing to do with their eldest daughter’s actions and did not support what Sofia had done. However, in secret, they mai

Sofia was too stunned to even talk or blink for that matter. Seeing Carlos had frozen her to the core.“C-Carlos!” Victoria shouted like a pig walking on broken glass. “Why are you disguised as Charles? What have you done to him? Where is he?”“He’s… standing right before you,” Carlos raised the face mask in his hand. “I’m Carlos. And I’m Charles.”Victoria’s eyes grew wider than the seas. The wine glass in her hand fell.“I’m Carlos Wallce. I’m Charles Wallace,” Carlos added. “I’m the guy that has been treated like a trash, not worth her time, by Sofia no matter how much I tried to please her, and I’m also the guy that she has fallen for because she believed she deserved me when I was a gambler who earns in millions every match.”Sofia still kept stupidly staring in gut-busting shock. (No! No! No! This can’t be true! This must be a dream! It has to be!) She refused to accept what was transpiring right before her eyes.However, why wasn’t the nightmare ending?Why was Carlos still sta

Charles was preparing in his room all by himself. Someone knocked on the door multiple times.“Coming.” Charles opened the door only to get shocked to see Laurel who had wet eyes, and there was anger dwelling in her eyes. She entered the room without his permission and locked the door. “What are you doing?”She looked into his eyes. “Didn’t you say you can’t make a woman pregnant? Why are you marrying Sofia?”Charles maintained a straight face. “You will know soon.”“What do you mean I’ll know soon?” Laurel frowned.“That’s all I can say. If you leave, I’ll prepare for the wedding,” Charles said.Laurel clenched her fist. “I hate you, Charles. I wish I never met you.” Holding her tears back, she rushed out of the room.Charles pursed his lips and took a deep breath. When he looked at himself in the mirror, he hated whom he was seeing.Meanwhile, in another room, Sofia was looking at herself in the mirror with a bouquet in her hand, she felt so happy. Her mother kissed her and said, “F
CHAPTER 248
Almost a week later, the wedding day has arrived.The Sky Moon Hotel’s rooftop was chosen as the wedding venue. All the top three floors were reserved for 120,000 dollars for three days and nights so that the guests could stay at the hotel for three more days after the wedding.Gregory had to do at least this much because it was his eldest daughter’s wedding. Everybody that was given the invitation cards were also later sent Myers’ branded clothes fitting to their body sizes so that everybody who would come to the wedding would be wearing the clothes of his brand and his brand only.Though no press was allowed at the wedding, some private photographers were hired to capture every moment so that Gregory could later use the footage to market his brand all over the world. After all, many billionaires from around the world were invited to the wedding, and even more guests to the reception that would follow the morning after the wedding night.The Sky Moon Hotel was a 120-floored building
